The countdown is on!

So this weekend is it! My first weekend checking out what people think of my "creations" as I like to put them, the last couple of weeks I have been sooo busy, sewing, buying material, organising everything to ensure that our stall at the market has as higher chance of succeeding as possible. I am generally up till this time every night doing all of the above and I tell ya I really will be disappointed if it goes pear-shaped but I also wont give up!

We also have a name now! It will be Dixiebug... see if you can work out how this name came about. Also when I say we I do mean Antz and I as if it weren't for him and the support he gives me none of it would be possible.

So please pray for good weather this weekend! Also lots of interest would be another good thing to pray for. I will update you after the weekend to let you know how it has gone!

kisses and hugs and love to all! xo

Lexie update :)

My gosh where has the time gone! Lexie is already 6 months old, I can't believe how fast they grow... I always thought everyone was talking bollocks when they said that they grow up fast! She is becoming more and more of a character every day though and we look forward to her progressing more in life in what she is able to do (although I am quite happy if she doesn't crawl for a wee while yet ;) )

Today was a rare sunny day in Wellington so we got Lexie outside and had a play on the grass, she was a little unsure about it all though so there aren't very many smiles in the following photos!

Her baby-led weaning is going great too! Some of her favorite foods at the moment are sausages, cucumber, croissant and toast with marmite. She is really getting the hang of getting food to her mouth now and is starting to swallow more. I tell you what though it can be quite scary watching the big bits of food in her mouth but its amazing what the human body can do, I've seen her bring forward bits of food that are too big to go down her throat.

And we will leave you again with a little video... No one makes Lexie laugh like her Daddy :)

Taking a chance

Hey everyone! So since Lexie was born I have somehow found the creative gene inside of me and so I have been experimenting with a lot of sewing. I have now decided to take this hobby one step further and will be setting up a stall at the Lower Hutt Riverbank Market on a Saturday morning to try and sell my creations. I thought I should give it a go because although my lovely friends say that they believe my creations are great, I feel I should see whether the public like them just as much. Here are some photos of some of the things that will be available at my stall.

Tutu Dresses and skirts:

Shoes:

Bib and dress (modelled by the Lovely Lexie of course)

So watch this space to see how the market goes and if it is successful watch out for a new website!
